Any station with an actual emergency may break this net at any time by informing Net Control that you have an

weather observation data and provide this information to the National Weather Service office at Paducah, KY

We welcome and encourage all amateur radio operators to check into the net, whether you are SKYWARN trained or not.
This is a Directed Net, and as such all transmissions are to be made through Net Control. We ask, that once checked into

the net, that you do not leave without first informing Net Control.
